we Know ILB and S our biggest needs, but we need more depth at NT & OLB and could improve depth at TE, OT, with Zach brown early commanding 10 mill, I take him out until he drops his price to 6 mill, here are in order of need and preference. Tyron at S is a elite player and im sure he is tired of losing the past year in the desert, so he may take a pay cut to play for a team 1 piece away.
1 S Mathieu, he will cost but will be worth every dollar, or what he will cost, can extend ben 2 years to lower his cap number
2 ILB Preston Brown 144 total tackles 84 solo 60 assists, would help our run D on 1st and 2nd down and you could put a guy like saying Eshe or watt inside in a pure pass situation nickel dime.
3 SS Kenny Varro solid vs the run a faster less trash talking Mitchell.
4 ILB Pos immediate upgrade short-term deal he could help out and say we draft Eshe or someone in the mid rnds starts for a year or 2 if Shazier does not return.
5 LB Hail can still rush but may be better suited to move inside but could still likely spell Dupree and watt for 5-10 reps.
6 Eifert low-risk high reward
7 Timmons knows the system can help groom the next guy excellent team guy. can play in coverage 5 yds at max but still blitz from anywhere and be a force vs the run with Vince
8 DE/NT Daquan Smith need a replacement for McCullers as he could not shed the weight john Mitchell wanted him to which is why he in the past 2 years rarely saw him, his conditioning was a big reason why he fell to 6th rnd.
9 NT John Jenkins depth
10 QB AJ McCarron, the market has shrunk for teams that need a starter with Bradford to AZ, brees, staying Bridgewater going to jets, cousins to Minny, looks like Buffalo is going to move up to take a Qb, nyg looks like the best spot for aj sit behind eli for a year and then get a chance, he has upside and i would trust him to come in god forbid a ben injury, I don’t trust Landry
